Announcing the SMBR Challenge

[Sreepathi Pai]

Just how far will you go to have your breakfast on a Sunday Morning? Literally?

Announcing the Sunday Morning Breakfast Ride (SMBR -- pronounced Sambar).

Pick a spot, not IISc, not where you usually have your Sunday breakfast.

Ride a cycle, preferably in a group. Be back before Lunch (2PM).

Tell us in a ride report (short or long):

1) How many km?
2) Where?
3) How the food was.

This challenge runs every Sunday.

Please note, the distance is not really very important ;)

Can't it be on a Saturday?

[Sreepathi Pai]

If you do this on a Saturday, you must always refer to it as the SMBR
ride, you're not allowed to use the full expansion, on pain of being
banned from all SMBR rides. Forever.

[Gokul D]

Brilliant!
I'm in.

[Sreepathi Pai]

Gokul Sir, hills in that otherwise brilliant logo might scare people off ;)

[Mustafa Khandwawala]

Then last SMBR ride was by Kalpesh and I to Nandi top and back.. Breakfast was Parle G and Haldiram's mathri—saved from being snatched by a monkey.

P.S. hope i don't get banned for this.

[Sreepathi Pai]

I'm not sure retrospective rides should be allowed, but since your
ride happened only last week, and we must make this challenge a
success, your entry is accepted.

60km to breakfast, including a 8km climb. Good show!

Fought monkeys for breakfast? Great show!

This was the one which inspired me for a breakfast ride. I wanted to ride the same one with Gokul and Mustafa some months before and discussed with them as well, but couldn't do then...

Ready to do this sometimes if IBNers are willing.

Besides, for beginning, we could ride to Bachenapalli eatery in Magadi road. It has been quite a while we rode in Magadi road I guess.

Or, Sri Udupi Upahara in Kanakpura (thanks to the Savandurga and Arkavathi populaires)

Sad I couldn't ride this sunday. Will be glad to ride next saturday (that corresponding sunday we have randonneurs meet, so we expect an exception)

Cheers,

KarthiK S.

To be absolutely honest, that is indeed the ride/blog post that
inspired the SMBR challenge.

However, it is not necessary to go to Tamil Nadu for breakfast, CTR in
Malleshwaram will do as well ;)

Yes, Bachenahalli and the big Thatte Idlis! And the awesome vadas!

This is currently my SMBR plan too ;)

There's an eatery near the peacock reserve where we get awesome thatte idlis. Would do that.

Sounds good. Will join you this week then.

[vijay srinivas]

Last month I had breakfast at maddur tiffany's at 8:45 while riding to mysore which is at around 95km from here...

Like the challenge... But I agree with Mustafa - SMBR should be read
as either Saturday or Sunday.
Is the objective to have the best total combination of route (scenic),
food and report + photos?

Anyone heard of Vidyarthi Bhavan?

~Abhijit

[Sreepathi Pai]

If it's Saturday, then only SMBR. If it's Sunday, then Sunday Morning
Breakfast Ride or SMBR.

Mostly, the points are all made up.

However, general acclaim will count, as will large groups.

Finally, all reports of the ride must come in by the following Monday
morning, so as to prevent retrospective reports.

Might be tempted if the breakfast would be sumptuous ;-D

[Siddhartha Gadgil]

I got a little dehydrated today (not bicycle related) so do not feel like riding tomorrow. I would be happy to do this next Sunday if others are inclined.
